Exploring the Brain-to-Brain interaction at a distance: a global or differential relationship?

Abstract

Backgound: The main objective of this exploratory study was a confirmation of the results obtained by Giroldini et al, 2016, relative to the possibility of identifying a long-distance connection between the EEG activities of two totally isolated subjects, one of whom was stimulated with light and sounds. In this new study we have used the method of the steady-state stimulus (visual and auditory) given at the frequencies of 10, 12 and 14 Hz in order to answer the following questions:- What is the relationship between the power of the EEG response in the stimulated partner and that of the other isolated partner?- Is the relationship between the EEG activities of the stimulated and the isolated partner global (i.e., an undifferentiated response), or is it differentiated and thus displays variations depending on the characteristics of the stimulation applied to the stimulated partner?Methods: Five adults chosen for their experience in mind control techniques and their mutual friendships took part in this study. Each participant took turns in being both the stimulated partner and the isolated non-stimulated partner with each of the others, making a total of 20 pair combinations.The stimulated partner received three blocks of 32 visual-auditory stimulations lasting 1 second modulated at 10 Hz, 12 Hz, and 14 Hz respectively, with a constant inter-stimulus interval of 4 seconds.The EEG activity of each pair was recorded at 128 samples/sec over 14 channels and analyzed by measuring traditional steady-state potentials and the Pearson’s linear correlation between all possible signal pairs with an innovative algorithm.Results: From the results of twenty pairs of subjects, we found an overall increase in the correlation among the EEG channels of the isolated partners, therefore confirming the previous research.Furthermore, we did not find any correlation between the correlation strength among the EEG channels of the stimulated partner and that observed in the non-stimulated partner, suggesting that this physical characteristic cannot be transferred between isolated partners; but we did find that the correlation among the EEG channels of the isolated distant partners changed not only globally, but also when the frequencies perceived by the stimulated partners were outside the Alpha band, suggesting that this neurophysiological mental connection at a distance may be differentiated.

Non-Ordinary Mental Expressions (NOMEs): Clues on the Nature of the Human Mind

“…The synchrony between coupled subjects may also involve unconscious processes, such as EEG changes yielded by visual and/or auditory stimulation in the participant (the transmitter) located at a distance in another isolated room (Bilucaglia, Pederzoli, Giroldini, Prati, Tressoldi, 2019;Giroldini et al Tressoldi et al, 2014Giroldini, Pederzoli, Bilucaglia, Prati, & Tressoldi, 2018;. The hypothesis of mind interaction stems from the possibility of non-local properties of consciousness: perhaps, the world at large is less "local" than believed so far and Nature might reveal itself as a huge integrated, complex system made of interrelated events including all living creatures (Atmanspacher, 2014Barlow, 2015;Charlton, 2007;Connolly, 2015;Neppe & Close, 2015;Walach & Romer, 2011;Wang et al 2013).…”

Mental Technologies: mental acquisition of information and influence at distance on the behaviour, physiology and emotions of human beings, and on biological and physical targets

“…Another research path takes advantage of the distant neurophysiological relationship between two partners, which we can call "Brain-to-Brain interaction at a distance", consisting of attempting to transmit ON/OFF binary signals by analysing the correlation between the EEG activity of the stimulated partner and the other distant but mentally-connected partner. Preliminary data obtained by Giroldini, Pederzoli, Bilucaglia, Prati, & Tressoldi, (2018) e Tressoldi et al, (2014) are promising, but there is still much work to be done to extract the weak EEG signal of the receiving partner, who is only linked mentally.…”
